Welcome, Ven a gozar!

I told him the only thing keeping himself from is dreams is him. In the past I have said such jewels as, ‘Someone has to be rich, it may as well be you’. As far as I know they are both true, you only have to want something more than you want anything else. Once you do that you start working towards that goal, you are unstoppable.

I remember reading a book a few years back about obligations. Obligations we make to others to help them with their growth here on earth. Many of us it seems have made these prior obligations, because we claim we want something in our lives, but our actions do not support that claim.

It is always interesting to listen to someone repeatedly tell me how much they want something, either a man or woman to share their lives with. I usually know people who tell me these things fairly well. I know enough about their life to know that what they are really mean is something a little bit different than what is being said.

What I know they are really saying is, I want someone in my life who will be there when I want them to be, never cause any conflict with the things I want, and never disagree with me. I want this person to show up somewhere in my already structured life that does little to expose myself to possibility. I want this person to be non invasive in my day, but I want them to declare total unconditional love for me before I have to make any kind of decision about them at all. This is usually the unsaid version of what I hear.

It is the same thing with being wealthy, or achieving any other dream that we think we want. We want to be wealthy, but our lifestyle does not support being wealthy. Our idea of becoming wealthy generally depends on winning the lottery, and little else. We walk right by opportunities to increase our wealth, because we either do not see an opportunity right there before us, or we really do not care to put forth any effort into being wealthy, we just want it to happen.

I am lucky in this I suppose. I defined what is and what is and is not important to me when I was a young boy, and I have changed little from my thoughts all those years ago. There have been some small changes in what I thought I would do with my life, which took me from a determined path to one of circumstance, and randomness. I rarely found times in my life when my life wants went unmet, or unobtainable, though it felt like it sometime.

That does not mean I had some magic formula. I trusted that things I wanted in my life would arrive as needed. My needs and wants are rather small in comparison to some, so there was never really a challenge to obtain or meet my life requirements at the differing periods of my life. Change moving from one period to another had been difficult at times, because my old wants were ingrained in my life.

When you find yourself wanting changes in your life, there are some things to be considered. The first is do you really want change, or would it be nice if that change somehow happened? That is probably the biggest test of whether your new goal is obtainable or not. If you are not willing to put in effort to make it happen, you can not expect that change to happen.

If you decide you would be happy if change somehow occurred, then it should be obvious that this change will probably not be speeding into your life, and may never appear at all. If you have determined that change is what you truly want, and you are willing to work for it, there are still a few obstacles that have to be overcome.

You have to be completely open to allowing any change to happen and change the way change presents itself. Sometimes change appears that seems in a completely different direction than you were expecting. You just have to see it and start allowing it to work in your life, and that change will happen sooner or later.
